The Breakers now know exactly what they have to do to ensure they qualify for the Australian NBL basketball finals

The Breakers now know exactly what they have to do to ensure they qualify for the Australian NBL basketball finals

18 February 2024

The Sydney Kings have clinched a finals spot by destroying a depleted South East Melbourne Phoenix 122-67 - the biggest winning margin in Kings history - so the Breakers simply have to make sure they don't lose to the Adelaide 36ers today by more than 100 points.

Lose by 101 points and the Brisbane Bullets would make the top six instead...and that simply isn't going to happen.
